The FBI's new crime report is in, but it's incomplete ["So for violent crime, property crime and homicides, the number of crimes could have gone up, gone down or stayed the same. We really don't know."]

"So for violent crime, property crime and homicides, the number of crimes could have gone up, gone down or stayed the same. We really don't know."

Horse Hockey! The FBI knows it has gone up, but doesn’t want it to get out because it’s an election year.

[ealgeone]

By them not telling us the numbers….they’ve told us the numbers.

[SauronOfMordor]

The Democrats do not want people seeing accurate crime stats.

[Darksheare]

They changed the reporting metrics to not be “racist”.
And surprise, that makes the data total garbage.

“By them not telling us the numbers….they’ve told us the numbers.”

Absolute truth.

[mass55th]

Political whores. They have no scruples. Will say and do what they’re told to say and do. In a day and age when all records are digitally generated, and archived, to say you don’t know the actual rate of crime, is a blatant lie.

[chopperk]

Wray doesn’t want you to know. You can bet that statistical report had his and Obozo’s blessing.

[PTBAA]

We know.

[Paladin2]

Close the Bureau of Political Hackery down.

Oh, we know!

“LI: In 1988, the FBI released a newer crime collection system, the National Incident-Based Reporting Program, NIBRS. And using that, a lot of agencies have been switching over the past couple of decades. Around 2015, 2016, the FBI decided that by 2021 they would retire the old system entirely and only accept data through the new system. So they will be provide the nation with data with a lot more granularity and detail and allow us to see what is happening. But unfortunately, what happened as a result is about 40% of agencies didn’t make that switch, so they couldn’t report their data to the FBI anymore.”

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.

Biden/Blue states don’t report crime anymore.

So the FBI is used to receiving data from more than 90% of police departments across the country. But like you said earlier, in 2021, because they changed their data collection method, the number have dropped to roughly 60%. So instead of saying a finite number, you know, X number of crimes took place, they're saying we think the range of crime that took place in 2021 is somewhere between Y and Z. So for violent crime, property crime and homicides, the number of crimes could have gone up, gone down or stayed the same. We really don't know.

So much Word salad, Note the timeline for change over in reporting. Also note that the largest blue dominated cities haven't reported crime data.

[Leaning Right]

Pittsburgh police have recently changed their policy. They will not send officers to many crime scenes unless the criminal is still there. If he’s not, they’ll just take a report over the phone.

Soon Pittsburgh crime victims will realize that it’s not worth reporting a crime. Presto! Crime goes down in Pittsburgh.

EvilCapitalist,

You're post #2 is EXACTLY CORRECT!

They Know the TRUTH but refrain from delivering it because of the ramifications it will bring.

[GOPJ]

Cops working for democrat mayors are pressured to keep the numbers down so their hellhole cities look ‘better’ than thy are. The FBI goes along to get along...

[VideoDoctor]

Biden/Blue states don’t report crime anymore

I believe you're totally right with that statement.

The reason they DON'T REPORT it is their too busy CREATING IT!

[Eagles6]

Exactly. Like, during Obunghole’s reign, they listed hispanics as White, in the offender category, but seperately in the victim category, to make Whites “appear” more violent.
